How to trim hog jowl
-
Just breaking a hog and been told smoked jowl is good. I can’t find any references on how to clean it. It looks like it is all glands. Do you leave all that on or clean it off? What’s the norm?

mars well they are out of the smoker! How do they look guys? They look edible I’ll have to test it out at lunch!!! The one I’m point at I think is the same from the raw picture???

mars I know I was out of this posting for a couple days. I tried to read over it but I didn’t see any mention of a cure.
Sorry if I’m being noisy just curious. -

denny66 brown sugar cure and smoke 8 hrs cut it with the grain because it shirks so much tastes like bacon

Joel bacon fried up is excellent with a big pot of brown beans! One of my all time favorites.
denny66 home made baked beans done in a ceramic pot baked in the oven old school !

Deepwoodsbutcher thanks that’s the one I watch Eckkhard had said to leave them in never naming what they are
mars you could also try the urban butcher channel. Just watched a video on boning the pigs head where he shows trimming up the jowls

While we’re on the jowl bacon kick my uncle was a stickler for Jowl Bacon & cabbage for his New Years Day dinner. It has always been promoted as a traditional New Years Day meal. The area groceries promoted it as such by placing special prices on jowl. My uncle would buy every piece of jowl on the shelf Of a local store and we had a feast.
I never knew how or why pork became a New Years Day meal but a recent search on the internet provided one very interesting theory.
It goes something like this. Chicken & Turkey scratch backwards but a hog uses his snout to root going forward. That’s the way you should start the New Year “going forward” interesting to say the least. Good enough reason for me to enjoy a nice jowl bacon & cabbage meal with family & friends. -
I always trim the glands out (gray squishy stuff) like the previous guy said Eckkehard the German Butcher doesn’t! https://youtu.be/Zmh0ZEZvM0U Here’s is jowl trimming video! I prefer jowls to slab bacon personally!
